Ira Q & A

Questions:

Did you know Bobby Brat?
Did you know his protector, the big long hair blond guy who looked like a movie pirate, like he should have a parrot on his shoulder and he may have even had an eye patch like Long John Sliver (he had a small speaking role in the lobby of the Chelsea Hotel at the beginning of the movie, "Sid and Nancy")?

Yes I knew bobby brats for many years and his long time gf till she went rasta margeret. He was 1 of the most harmless souls you could have ever met. He just couldn't get the hint as most of us did to stop doing dope.

re: bobby brats - early '82, he killed a white guy also named Steve who lived in my building on 13th st. near (I think) to where Bobby stayed with his girlfriend) Bobby was said to have stabbed Steve for giving him bad dope, no one in the building helped Steve and he bleed to death over a period of a few hours. The word in our building was that the guys who packaged the smack upstairs (smiley face) gave bad dope to Steve to deal because they wanted to get rid of him. Steve had been a social worker turned user, turned seller (sucker). There was no dispute about Bobby being the one who knifed Steve in the belly. Bobby's "pirate" protector did not deny it when I asked him straight out when "pirate" came to the porch to score 10 bags, which everyone assumed was for him and Bobby who, we assumed, he was hiding. "Pirate" excused Bobby by saying that the girlfriend bitch had driven Bobby crazy. It was not something I needed to do anything about and it was too dangerous for me to be messing with it. We talking about the same Bobby?
